In 1834 in the chronicles of Jonathan H Green one will find reference to the Mississippi riverboats that provided passage for gamblers of the “cheating game”. There it is again the game of Poker getting a bad rap.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pokermancer.com/2009/10/general-poker/10-most-interesting-facts-about-poker-but-are-they-true/"><STRONG>Fact or Fiction #2:</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pokermancer.com/2009/10/general-poker/10-most-interesting-facts-about-poker-but-are-they-true/"><P>Poker can take the credit for the sandwich. John Montague, who was an 18th century aristocrat, was so into his poker games that he wouldn’t leave them to eat. Instead he had his butler bring him a piece of meat between two pieces of bread so he could still play and eat with one hand. Could this be the 4th Earl of Sandwich we’re talking about?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pokermancer.com/2009/10/general-poker/10-most-interesting-facts-about-poker-but-are-they-true/"><STRONG>Fact or Fiction #3</STRONG></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/477A3FCA-F77B-497B-8B54-C2CB2F58F5A7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
